This video demonstrates how easy it is to "fake it" on Facebook

Have you ever noticed that virtually everyone on Facebook leads a totally awesome life? Between that new promotion at work, completing a 26-mile marathon, having dinner out on the town with the most amazing person in the world or ditching a dead-end job, it can seem at times that everyone lives a fairy tale life.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re the only one with a normal life and a normal set of problems, you aren’t the only one. As the clip above from Shaun Higton reminds us, those perfect people you see on Facebook likely aren’t as cheery as they make themselves out to be.

Truth be told, it’s pretty easy to “fake it” on Facebook. So the next time you’re feeling down about how mundane your life is, remember not to take everything you see on social media at face value.
